BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Connected Nation’s board member, and retired World Ahead, Intel Corp., vice president, John Davies, was elected to the exclusive National Academy of Engineering (NAE).
“This honor is among the highest of professional distinctions that is accorded an engineer, but it is no surprise to us that John was elected to the academy,” said Tom Ferree, chairman & CEO, CN. “John has long been on the forefront of technology — first as a World Trade Postdoctoral Fellow at IBM and a development engineer at Phillips in the United Kingdom and, later, as a leader within the Intel Corp. in the U.S., where he was awarded two prestigious Individual Achievement Awards. More specifically, John’s leadership of Intel’s World Ahead program and his service on the International Telecommunications Union has had immeasurable impact on empowering individuals and whole communities in developing countries around the globe. As one of our most long-tenured Board members, we have been fortunate to have the benefit of his talents and these experiences to guide our organization and its mission to close the digital divide in the U.S.”
